| I would like to see you try and get a skip lorry down the mansions. It can get down but cannot function ie drop or collect without demolishing the boundary posts or the rear fences of the properties in the next road. When we had builders in we had to use a transit flat bed almost daily and it cost a fortune. Naturally this blocked the road for 45 mins a day as there was simply no-where else to remove the rubble. No business encroaches the boundary and by the way many of the rear access forecourts are for residents not just the shopkeepers. Very often the rubbish bins block the roadway. It has to be remembered several hundred people live over the shops and they have rubbish as well. it has been a big issue with the freeholders over many years, but the simple fact is there is not enough space for modern transportation. They were designed for vehicles the size of an Austin Seven and even a 1960s Morris 1000 van would barely fit without a lot of manouvering. Vehicles are far bigger now. As for the Church lane access, well that is where I first lived and only the Undertakers and the Zakya use it as they have smaller vehicles but again anything bigger and bang goes your garden fence, it is neither safe or practical although I wish it were. |
